It doesn't work. Mach Rider does not have an arm cannon compared to Samus.
The only ones that I've thought about are Blaziken with Captain Falcon, Birdo with Yoshi (which I suppose is only technically cross-series and would definitely make the most sense minus the tongue moves), and Gardevoir with Zelda (though it probably wouldn't work with the current incarnation since Gardevoir is taller I think).
lol oops. Must be one of those Mandela Effect things.
Assuming they share proportions, I could see Hitmonchan as a more balanced version of Little Mac, though that would require giving him entirely new aerials, which would mean the purpose his ground normals would have to change...yeah maybe a bit too much work for an Echo Fighter.
If Blaziken MUST be a clone, at least factor in its Pokkén mechanic where it can boost the strength of its specials at the cost of damaging itself.
SPIN OFF!
So something like Jason's Neutral Special Rage from Multiversus? I mean, it's technically like Incineroar's Revenge Down Special, except it's self-damage and without needing to be hit by an enemy.
Not really. It's holding the button to perform an EX variant of the attack that's stronger at the cost of health.
Ganondorf is a weird case in which he wouldn't have made it in if he wouldn't be a clone. It was a weird pick, but for Melee it worked. It didn't work for Brawl, Smash 4 and Ultimate started to make it half work. Even his "new" moves here are taken from Ike and Cloud. Now he's a true cross series clone. Admittedly Ganondorf fits much better in the stage and setting of Fire Emblem and Final Fantasy than F Zero maybe, but who am I to claim to know better?
Also I'd assume the higher-ups wouldn't want to pay you that much for just sitting in a room doing nothing, and that also means no hope of getting a promotion and getting better pay, which all together probably leaves you with mere peanuts for pay. I might very well be wrong, but it sounds like you're being exiled to the realm of just Not Being Paid Well and in a capitalist society, that almost certainly spells disaster
You know, it's funny how I kinda see Rent a Hero as SEGA's equivalent to Earthbound in some ways.
Huh, never thought I'd see someone come up with an idea to not only KEEP the Koopalings in Smash, but also come up with ways to make them semi-clones of Bowser Jr..
When this Pokemon 'gigaleak' happened, seeing the concept art for Gen. IV (among other generations) reminded me of something I've been meaning to ask all of you. What would you all think about the idea of Garchomp joining Smash Bros., BUT it (or I guess, SHE, in this case) was accompanied by Cynthia?
I really need to rewatch some gameplay of Gyromite again to confirm this, but I'm pretty sure that part of how I've advocated for R.O.B. getting his own stage was via 75m getting reskinned, as I THINK Gyromite contained a level that looked similar to 75m, but with different colored girders and what not.
Really hope I'm not coming off as pedantic for saying this, but Metal Combat is the sequel to Battle Clash, isn't it? All the same though, I wouldn't mind Michael Anderson (the main protagonist of BOTH games) join Smash as a playable character.
I mentioned this a while back, but I'd actually like to see Urban Champion as a cross-series clone of Little Mac.

Just Garchomp would be enough for me. I say a big fat YES.
Yeah! I love when the series build original movesets on non fighting characters.
I’d gladly take either solo Garchomp or Garchomp with Cynthia in the background like Pokemon Trainer. It’s probably my favorite pseudo legendary with Metagross as a close second.
Sure but again, other than thee holy Captain Blaziken, who would that apply to that would actually work? I mean yeah you could get a character in faster, but Falcondorf shows that it ends up causing a lot of trouble in the long-term. Sometimes the long game is better.
I get what you're tryna do, but man, imagine:
Yeah, I can kind of relate to that sentiment. If there’s a character I really want and at least part of that is because of their potential moveset, I’d be pretty let down with them being an echo. At the same time, I’m more forgiving of Smash sacrificing a character’s accuracy if the only way they’d ever get in is through an echo. Even if the moves don’t exactly match the source material, I’d rather have something than nothing.
Call me crazy but I would like his final boss theme to be in the game at the very least. I know is not the most fitting thing for a battle but it gives variety to our music selection having one really creepy track.

He still would have been made. He just would have had to wait till Brawl.
Totally fine.
I suppose that's the thing though. At that point Sakurai was still under the assumption that Melee would be the final game in the series, so at the time it was then or never.
I get where you’re coming from but I see things a bit differently. What if you really wanted each individual character in a transformation but realize the transformation is the only way to get all of them? Like people who are really big fans of Squirtle or Ivysaur. I don’t think either ever would have made it on their own without the Trainer concept.He still would have been made. He just would have had to wait till Brawl.
Totally fine.
My problems with Pokemon Trainer are:
1. Transformation character
2. 3 characters worth of dev resources spent on one character.
Giving trainers to individual Pokemon as purely aesthetic background elements has neither of those issues.
Given how much he despises the mechanic I have a feeling that if that's the only way they could be added, he straight up wouldn't want them. lol
I only wish that if Charizard becomes Solo-Zard again, he gets reworked to be less reliant on a switching mechanic.
I think that'd work for something like Link as a way to implement the shield parry mechanic.
There's an alternate universe out there where balance was thrown at the window and pretty much all fighters had either something like that or a mechanic that would essentially allow you to change to custom move variations during a match via the button combo.
I don't like the idea of tying core mechanics into the cheeky flavor animation button. Didn't like it for PM's Ice Missile Samus and I don't like it here. I also kinda think that Pyra/Mythra kind of only make sense as transforming characters. If they somehow add Pneuma then sure, but otherwise...eh?
I think as long as they’re still easy enough to pick up and play, most casuals would still use them if they liked the character or enjoyed their moveset. For example, I never really learned Kazuya’s combos in Smash but he’s still a ton of fun to play at a base level. Same goes for the transformation characters. I main the random button so I never really learn all the ins and outs of any particular character but I can play them well enough to get by and have fun.
I like that idea a lot for characters from team based games. I had a similar idea with my Alphen/Shionne moveset and it could work great for a pair like Vi/Caitlyn or Ahri/Yasuo considering the team mechanics of 2XKO. The Battletoads probably don’t need any kind of transformation though. I’d just go with something close to Rash’s moveset from Killer Instinct and just have the different toads as alts. That moveset worked great for a default Battletoad set. It would be a small miracle if we even got one playable Battletoad so I’m not holding my breath for multiple through a transformation. I certainly wouldn’t be opposed though. The more Toads, the better.
